The findings indicate that the metaphorical expressions of color terms in Chinese and English exhibit significant differences under different cultural contexts. These differences not only reflect the cultural characteristics in language use but also deepen the understanding of language comprehension in cross-cultural communication. The research results provide theoretical support and empirical evidence for further comparative studies of Chinese and Western language cultures, while also offering insights for cross-cultural language teaching.展开更多
